Benny and Pat’s:

This course has been developed to provide reproducible strategies to answering questions in the RACP physicians' written exams and to encourage discussions about challenging neurology concepts and topics; so that everyone can learn more effectively and gain confidence. It’s the first and only dedicated neurology webinar for the RACP BPT Written exam. Whilst the day focuses on the kinds of questions trainees may be faced with in the exams, the speakers use these questions as an opportunity to explore some fundamental principles in neurology. 

It is important to Benny and Pat that the learning experience persists and not only assists with the written exams on which it focuses but also in the clinical environment and in their eventual preparation for the clinical exam (once everyone passes the written!).

Both Dr Benjamin Trewin and Dr Patrick Aouad have a wealth of experience as educators, BPT, and FRACP supervisors and aren’t too far from sitting these very exam themselves! They still remember how difficult it is to juggle all the after-hours study with the demands of clinical work and are therefore enthusiastic about making the most of your precious weekend time.

What People Are Saying

“This course is so relevant! I can tell how much work went into it, the slides and information were beautifully presented in easily digestible content. I truly appreciate and want to thank Benny and Pat for making this such a worthwhile educational course.”

“Not only did Benny and Pat cover key things for the exam, but they did it in a way that also prepared us to have an appropriate level of knowledge on these different topics for the wards. I really appreciated the breakdown of each question and the topic summaries. Doing well in the exam is great, but it’s just as important to know these topics long-term to really benefit my patients. This course provided me with the stepping stones to be able to do just that!”
